DIY projects for barn, tack room and even your home
One of the first things I started making for horse jumps was rails (or poles) for horse jumps. Making rails for horse jumps is the least labor intensive part of building a jump. It’s very simple, you go to home depot, spend $40.00 and bam! You have 10 poles to use for your jumps. And …
Raised rails are something simple you can make which will add a lot of versatility to your riding and jumping. I have made them by simply using left over wood from when I am building a pair of jump standards. I don’t want to waste wood, so I figured out a way to use the …
I am so excited, I feel as if I have officially made it, as I have reached 500 subscribers on my YouTube channel! Yay! Time for a party! Well, not really but I liked the way it sounded. Getting to 500 subscribers has been so much fun, and I have learned a lot along this …
Ok, so most of my free time is eaten up by horsey-time. But just because I love horses doesn’t mean I eat sleep and dream them 24-7(Ok, I do, but that’s beside the point.) But like everyone else with horses, there has to be some time left over for everything else that happens on a …
Horse treats have become a booming money maker for many different companies. But they can also be expensive, and have questionable ingredients.

Well, I have FINALLY been able to achieve a goal I set out to do a while ago….I was able to purchase a saddle without spending any money to do it. So yes, I got a very nice saddle, for free! It is not brand new, and it has been used, but that just means …
Summer time is FINALLY here!!!! But along with the glorious longer and warmer days, you will probably have to deal with flying pests. Mostly a minor inconvenience, but sometimes, those flying critters can carry nasty diseases that you would rather not catch, nor have your horses become infected with the latest, exotic disease. When the …
This is my review of several different jump cups. I start with the basic jump cups you can get from Horse.com, to my favorite, Dapple Equine one handed jump cup. In my opinion, the Dapple Equine is the best cup to have if you are making your own jumps. They are simple to use, and …
Don’t let the photo fool you, it is still wintertime where I live, in fact the snow started flying with a vengeance earlier this week. So now I have more time to figure out what to do while my riding area is covered with yet even more snow. It isn’t as awful as it may …
So it is still wintertime (imagine that). My jumps that I am building are coming along well, and I may have to slow down my production, or make a set to sell before I am able to use them. Because my garage is getting full of jumps, which is not a bad thing, but if …
